Research Interests

Basic research interest includes the perception of speech and non-speech complex sounds, for native and non-native listeners, for normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners, speech intelligibility of non-native speakers, auditory model for speech processing, development of speech perception and speech production, and speech synthesis and recognition. Recent studies have been focusing on vowel perception, bilingual speech production and perception, spectral enhancement, auditory models of speech processing for normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners and auditory processing for young children.
